Why all the smoke and mirrors? Why have the government give you 2% with one hand and take away 1% with the other? It seems to me all the paperwork would end up costing extra, too. If the government in its divine generosity wants to give my elderly neighbor a social security pension of $700.00/month, then take back $50 (or whatever) a month, why not just send her $650.00 and be done with it?
